KIT CAT Klock Gentlemen (Boysenberry)

It took two goes, but on receipt of the second Kit-Cat Klock we ordered, the clock worked straight out the box filling a weirdly appropriate space that's always been there on our wall, we just never figured out what was supposed to be there until we bought this Klock.Long story short - the first Klock ordered had a faulty mechanism - pendulum (tail) worked fine and eyes moved and all that, but the hands absolutely didn't and it didn't matter which online "fix" we tried - the hands were loose and simply wouldn't engage with the mechanism whatsoever but - rather than just send back for a refund - we took a punt on trying a replacement and, as I say - worked straight out the box. You couldn't have a more chalk and cheese experience.Given the cost of one of these things, its a bit disheartening running into a duff one on your first go - and if the same happened with this second Klock, absolutely - that would have been it. But, if you actually buy one you can appreciate, its not just simply your regular solid state quarts mechanism inside. Its a really complex, fiddly internal mechanism much more like a really pendulum clock movement (albeit made entirely of plastic) which, if shaken up in transit too much, probably isn't going to survive.Kind of swings and roundabouts really what you get - they are notorious for being temperamental but Amazons returns policy worked seamlessly - once in the system the refund went straight onto credit so quickly I was able to order a replacement which arrived the very next day. I really can't say fairer than that for Amazon.The working Kit-Cat Klock is very lovey, makes a satisfying tick-tock sound as a real clock should and all in all, we're really pleased we bought it - more a treat than a necessity, but the working thing really is a piece of lovely and makes you smile just glancing at it contentedly ticking away, smiling right back at you.Possible nightmare fuel for really small children, fortunately neither me or my wife are either, except at heart. Very happy with our new house guest.

Bought for my partner as he mentioned a few times that he likes these clocks.Setup was fine although you do need to get the right angle or the eyes and tail don’t move.I’m sure on the description it said wooden frame but it is all plastic. Still looks ok on the wall but would have preferred minimal plastic.Keeps the time well and nice novelty item for the kitchen.

Love it

Very entertaining design, similar to original. Unfortunately the clock mechanism is faulty and it starts with getting late or ahead to ultimately stop working. We bought first one which worked for about 7 months and had to be replaced only for the replacement to fail again after 5 months. The main problem is with the pendulum which makes cats eye and it's tail swing left and right. When is fails the movement of it becomes weaker and weaker to full stop. Changing batteries doesn't help and it becomes useless. For the high price tag of this plastic toy this is very disappointing.

Its quite expensive for a novelty clock, which I purchased as a gift. It arrived the next day (good) but with new batteries only told the time without the eyes and tail movement (bad). So I purchased new new batteries. Still no joy. Rather than send the product back, I drilled down on the website, and found this to be a common problem. Fixes include new batteries (check) and then checking the linkages (check check). What I found was the electromagnet which is wired in to the battery holder was rattling around (still wired in) into the bottom of the clock. With a bit of contorting and care (remember its all a bit flimsy) I 'clipped' the electromagnet circle into its alloted place. When I say 'clipped', there are no clips (probably why it fell out in the first place) and so more 'balanced' would be better. If this doesn't hold, then I will return the clock, as it should be glued.So in summary, a classic piece of Americana, built like American products seem to be nowadays, and the shine of the gift was somewhat removed by having to fix a brand new item. Its now hanging on the wall by the stairs waiting for the kids to come home and see it working!

As others here have mentioned, it's quite expensive for what you get as it appears to be very cheaply made. But it's a classic design and it does (so far, at least) keep good time.But my main bug-bear with it is that it's SO NOISY. I have it in my home office and the cheap, plastic rattling sound it constantly made was actually quite distracting, so much so that I was about to remove it. But I decided to have a look at what the actual issue was, and it appears that it's where the pegs at the top and bottom of the eyeballs sit into the body. With the aid of a long toothpick I managed to get some very light grease (I used Molykote 55) into where the eyeball pivots sit, and that made an incredible difference. It's sooooo quiet now.I've given it an overall 5 stars because I'm so happy wit it now, but if the grease hadn't cured the noise problem I think I'd struggle to have given it 3 stars.

It’s louder than I expected so if ticking clocks are a problem bear in mind. You can stop the tail so no noise but that negates why I bought it. Also smaller than I expected

I bought one of these and my step son loved it so ordered another. Once they are up and working they are great, but the mechanism is extremely fragile. The second one was dead on arrival. I'm ordering a replacemement, but based on the other users feedback it seems a big problem. It kind of takes the shine off a gift when it doesn't work.

After reading the reviews, I got a lot of mixed emotions about whether or not I should purchase this clock. I noticed either a lot of people loved it or they absolutely hated it. I wanted to take a chance and order it because our house has a cat themed kitchen and a pink cat clock was the last thing we needed to complete our vision.It's pretty small. I was surprised how tiny it was when it arrived, however for our home it ended up being the perfect size. We set it up, make sure you place your C-batteries and remove the foam thing in the back of it so the eyes and tails can wag. However once we set our little kitty clock up it was adorable and perfect.I think the price was $20 bucks too expensive but this clock was really adorable and it makes me smile every time I'm in my home.

Très belle et originale avec ses yeux particuliers mais aussi assez bruyante !

Such a cute clock! My second one, other one still works, but relocated!

Zegar działa (od roku go posiadam) i pięknie się prezentuje.

Klockan är väldigt fin. Tyvärr slutade svansen och ögonen röra sig efter några dagar.
